choices.

ok so with the recent entry, everyone knows that i'm alive and back.. but there seriously isn't anything much to add on to this space.. ever since i started work, life has been nothing but a freaking routine. i get up in the morning, wash up and hit the office, work till about 6pm, knock off, and head for home..

once i hit home, it's either my xbox, my guitar, or more work.. is this what it's going to be like till my retirement? hell i hope not. well the good thing is that work is bringing in the cash.. but if it's going to be this routine for the rest of my freaking life, it's gonna be boring as hell..

surely there must be something better out there. the thought of leaving the design industry in the pursuit of musical interest has always crossed my mind, but that won't happen till maybe a good few years later, when i can really say that i'm ready for that.. but yeah i'm sure a life of music is a lot more enlightening and entertaining than a life of "hi good morning, so what do you have for me to do today, boss?" yeah so what if you work your way up to creative director or CEO or fking president. you'd still be going a damned office, and the only difference between you and your empoyer/employees would be the size of your cubicle, and the digits on your paycheque.

i think i'll stick to what i'm doing for now, but it might be a good idea to come up with some sort of plan for the future.. well not to say that there's going to be any, by the looks of it.. what with all these effects of global warming that are gonna kill us slowly in 10 years if YOU FUCKING PEOPLE DON'T TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING THEM, OR LEAVE YOUR FUCKING COMPUTERS ON ALL DAY AND NIGHT EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT USING THEM COS YOU WANT THAT PR0N, ANIME, DRAMA SERIES, SOFTWARE, WHATEVER ELSE YOU MIGHT BE DOWNLOADING JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA PAY FOR IT.

on to global warming now. if you haven't already watched An Inconvenient Truth, i suggest you do head down to your nearest DVD/VCD store and pick it up. If you haven't noticed by now, our planet Earth, which we call home, is dying all thanks to ourselves, and if we don't do anything about it within the next 10 years, we can more or less kiss our sorry asses goodbye. in 10 years, the destruction that we have caused the Earth will backfire on us slowly, and the planet will go into a slow cycle of self destruction.

here are some statistics from the film:
"The 10 warmest years in history were in the last 14 years. Last year South America experienced its first hurricane. Japan and the Pacific are setting records for typhoons. Hurricane Katrina passed over Florida, doubled back over the Gulf, picked up strength from unusually warm Gulf waters, and went from Category 3 to Category 5. There are changes in the Gulf Stream and the jet stream. Cores of polar ice show that carbon dioxide is much, much higher than ever before in a quarter of a million years. It was once thought that such things went in cycles. Gore stands in front of a graph showing the ups and downs of carbon dioxide over the centuries. Yes, there is a cyclical pattern. Then, in recent years, the graph turns up and keeps going up, higher and higher, off the chart." - an excerpt from Roger Ebert's Review of An Inconvenient Truth

so i suggest that if you haven't watched this film, you owe it to yourself and your children and the rest of the world to watch it. if you think that it's all a bunch of bullshit, then you can just go kill yourself.
